Orioles offer no contracts to Reynolds, Quintanilla, Pomeranz

Pearce, Teagarden get contracts; Pittsburgh trade nets infielder

The Baltimore Orioles' incredible 2012 season saw a host of guys willing to do whatever was asked, and then somehow do it better than expected.

None more so than Mark Reynolds, who reinvented himself as a plus first baseman and showcased his power down the stretch.

But Friday night, Reynolds became a free agent.

The Orioles non-tendered the free swinger, allowing Reynolds to test the market. He could still return, but he alluded to the fact it would be nice to play for a team that does spring training near his home in Arizona.

The 29-year-old batted .221/.335/.429 with 23 home runs and 69 RBI in 135 games for the Orioles last season. In his two years with Baltimore, Reynolds hit .221/.328/.458 with 60 home runs and 155 RBI in 290 games.

Reynolds has hit 20 or more home runs in each of the last five seasons. He was great in the clubhouse, and regardless whether he returns, will always be part of Orioles Magic in 2012.

Quintanilla, 31, batted .232/.284/.354 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 36 games for the Orioles after being acquired from the New York Mets on July 20.

Earlier in the day, the Orioles announced a trade with Pittsburgh to bring infielder Yamaico Navarro to Baltimore in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jhondaniel Medina. To make room for Navarro, the Orioles designated the 27-year-old Pomeranz for assignment.

Friday's moves reduce the Orioles' 40-man roster to 38.
